Features: This book is a small guide on scientific and technical information retrieval, aimed at teaching readers how to quickly search for scientific and technical information. It provides readers with a roadmap to effectively find the treasures they need in the vast ocean of information, teaching them how to fish. The main purpose of this book is to be easy to understand and practical. "Easy to understand" means that the book's content does not involve theoretical or in-depth aspects of information retrieval, with simple and straightforward language, clear examples, and self-study-friendly content. "Practical" refers to the book's chapter structure, which is designed with the reader in mind. Each chapter is relatively independent, allowing readers to read specific chapters without much difficulty or use them as a starting point to explore other related chapters, making it convenient for readers. The retrieval roadmap designed in the book aims to help readers clarify their thoughts and solve the "difficulty at the beginning" problem, making it easier for them and improving retrieval efficiency. The book uniquely includes a chapter titled "Basic Knowledge of Scientific and Technical Literature Writing," which provides readers with some help in writing analysis reports or academic papers after retrieving information, also reflecting the book's practical and user-friendly spirit. The book comes with a CD-ROM, but it is not the electronic version of the book but a separate publication (companion) to the book. This means that even without the CD-ROM, readers can fully understand and use the book.
